its changed a bit since the pics, after a few trips most the interior fell to bits n the bed wouldnt take much more so sold it off to fund a r+r bed n buddy seat, got a 2 year old that loves raggin things around so trying keep things easy for camping with him. the tin top had a small vent which the previous owner plated over and filled - not too well, left me with a leaky roof so went for a paris sunroof cus i think they look pretty cool. am happy with how its goin n keep doin little bits tidy it up as i go (radio, bumpers sprayed n back on, cooker/sink unit) gonna get some more recent pics up this weekend. hopefully i wont be sent to hell with the things ive done...... just makin a cool ride for every weekend!! :mrgreen:

Hi Rob, the cream colour is 'Lotus white' paint code should be L282, usually on a sticker behind the passenger seat.

Regards - Rob

3/4 rock n roll bed ( now out and sold , made way for a full width )

palziv foam sound/heat insulation over engine bay and all floor - before/after

vinyl flooring ( may change it yet for a plain cream or summat... )

"paris" sunroof

replaced a few bits of usual trim/seals, serviced a few times now, carpets up front and prob a few other bits on the ongoing quest to keep it tidy. :mrgreen:

The day unit looks good - can it be removed easily so you can use the van to haul things about?

Oh and welcome :mrgreen:

Hi Andy

thanks for the bus love 8)

Yeah the unit isnt bolted anywhere at the mo, cant really give the van any beans goin round bends anyway so dont think it'll topple, but am just gonna bolt it to the bulkhead rear of the driver seat just to be sure!

Hey Doddy

Is that an Australian RHD? Too solid to be a UK van and the mesh visor is a bit of a giveaway. Could be wrong, it's happened before.
